"I would tell you that a champagne color with green accents would not only match your hair color, compliment your skin tone, but bring out your eyes..."
She either loved to make him sound gay or get fashion advice. Or both.
"And that a long, elegant cut would suit you, something with a plunging neckline." Though for the last part, he would keep why to himself. He had seen all of her, but knew what she would look good in regardless of that.
Lorey looked into her purse. She had nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even plastic. All the years she'd spent alone had been dealt with through cash and meager paychecks. Richard, at least, had managed to save something. Lorey crossed her fingers, knowing that Damian would help them if they truly needed it.

Raquel smiled to herself, turning a moment to look into the racks idly, letting it all sink in. "I like that..." She said more to herself as she set her things down on the floor, turning to him again. "You'd be a good gay man Mr. Centurion. I can't say I'd prefer it at all, but you'd be good at it." She winked, laughing slightly. "But then I suppose I wouldn't have a use for whats in this bag..." Her booted foot tapped the little parcel gently as she placed a hand on her hip.
Richard practically held his breath as the saleslady run up the rings. After a moment, her smile looked slightly surprised as she shrugged and handed it back to him.
The look on her face was an amused 'it was just barely enough' look as she handed them a small bag with the two lovely rings inside. She said something about have a nice day, but Richard was too busy dying of relief. He smiled and wrapped an arm about Lorey's waist, thanking the woman and heading out of the store.

"And I can't see?" Damian made a playful grab at the bag at her side to see just what she had in mind that was so special. "I know it's green. You showed me that much... Is it for me or you? Because I know I am not a lacey man, Miss Raquel."
He gave her a rather sly look as he tried to tower over her, though they were about the same height.
Lorey was holding him around the waist as well, before stopping right in her tracks.
"You know," she said. "We are about the only people in all of Veratia who could make decisions on weddings dresses, tuxedos, and wedding bands that fast."

"Well I was htinking leather for you." She winked joking, not intimidated in the least bit, but did tilt er head up at him slightly. "I was going to let you pick something out for me that you fancied, but I figured I'd be safe and do it myself." She cocked an eyebrow, aware that Damian had experienced many things in the bedroom. She wasn't sure if she herself would be interested in such things, but it was fun to joke about.
"I guess you'll just have to wait and see...." She murmured softly, tapping a finger on his chest.
At that, Richard had to laugh. "You know I think you're right... but I honestly think its because we're so sure about this, and have had a decent idea in our minds for quite sometime. We know what we want. We've had a little time to contemplate it and figure out just what we want." He smiled, glancing down into the bags.

"I am not a leather mean, either," he said with the same joking tone in his voice. He realized that Richard and Lorey would be in the front of the store by then, and took Raquel's hand once more to get her to come along.
"I prefer flannel. Or nothing at all. If that is alright with my caretaker, since you know what's best for me by now."
He still felt guilty about all the time she had spent with him getting better. It had taken her away from the world and what she wanted to do with herself, which reminded him...
"...Raquel, how will you go to the art school if we are in Druis?"
Lorey laughed and nodded at that.
"I don't need anything too fancy, but my dress is sure beautiful. You'll see, though. Along with something else." The last bit had a teasing tone to it, but instead of looking awkward or blushing, Lorey looked like she was enjoying the torture.

Raquel let her hand drop, knowing the teasing was done with. She merely shrugged, picking up her bags, giving him a smile. "I've already thought about that." She sighed as she took a step or two away to head to the front. "I figured... I could take online classes if they offered... or if not, just.. I dont know. Try something local." She pursed her lips, turned away form him. "I'm...sorry if it was a waste of money... if it doesn't work out I mean." She glanced over her shoulder.
Richard's face grew red though he smirked. "You know... we could just skip right to that part first..." He gave her a sideways glance before an idea formed. "Like...How bout NOW!" He scooped up Lorey in his arms, and swung her about, kissing her here and there, not caring about the looks he got, sweet or condemning.

Damian looked at her. The money he had spent to get the guitar back was nothing. He'd regained it in a week. But her hopes and dreams were something that couldn't be regained or rebought if they failed.
"Raquel..."
But their words were broken off by the sound of Lorey's laughing and suppressed screams of happiness as Richard picked her up and kissed her face, neck and lips. Poor Lorey was red and embarrassed, but laughing so hard and trying to catch his lips to make him stop as he swung her about, but to no avail. Soon she just put both of her hands over his mouth while her was still wide with laughter and breathless pleas for him to shush, because they were in public. But that didn't matter, did it?

Raquel merely smiled at him as if telling him it were ok just as the other two came up. She turned and laughed as if they were as light hearted as this soon to be wed couple, just shaking her head. "Why dont you two save that for the honeymoon hm?" She winked as Richard stuck his tongue out at her in a joking fashion as he finally let Lorey down.
"Fine, I suppose I'll have to contain myself till then..." But no sooner had he said it, he grabbed Lorey around the waist roughly, but in a joking manner. "Are you two ready to leave?" He asked while planting a kiss right on her neck in front of everyone.
Raquel glanced over her shoulder to Damian, shrugging as she couldn't think of anything else they needed. "Yea, we're ready when you two are." She smiled with a cute little shrug, making sure she had her bags.

Lorey grabbed his face and planted a long kiss in front of everyone. It was something that made Damian, of all people, raise his eyebrows, since he was sure Lorey was a person who wouldn't do public displays of affection that borderlined on making out in front of everyone. But there she was, unrelenting and firm in her desire to kiss him until he blushed.
When she did pull away, Lorey had a very satisfied look on her face, like she'd just gotten her revenge.
"You better watch yourself, Richard."

Raquel couldn't help herself. She burst out laughing, ecspecially at Richard's poor face. She clapped her hands together, walking past the two, just shaking her head. "Poor old man! Lorey you just about gave him a heart attack!" She cried, fighting a fit of laughter as Richard just looked shocked but happy.
"I w-will look out, t0trust me...after that, Raquel's right..." He placed a hand over his heart and exaggerated a pained look s he limped off a little, looking back to give her a goofy grin.

"Aww!" Lorey started laughing and giggling as they made their way out the door. She made sure to hold Richard's hand as they walked to the speeder.
"You're not an old man. Five years older than me... you'd think you were ancient with the way you talk."
Lorey did look young, though, so perhaps it just made Richard look older. Regardless, she loved him, and would stay with him until the end of time. that was her promise to herself, and to him.

Raquel couldn't help but smile and watch as Richard practically beamed with Lorey at his side. She wondered if thats who Damian looked when he was with her. She looked up at him as she opened the door to the speeder for Lorey and Richard. She smiled lightly,making her way in next.
**to home??**
